jjojjas Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Guys, After read a lot of good reviews on here about Wizzard pups I decided to buy some today for my old Ibanez. There in the post to me now, but when I fit them (p/J configuration...Big ones) I want to change to two volume pots and the tone pot on the bass as they all crackle like hell. I have NO IDEA what to buy, so instead of taking a photo to a guitar shop I thought I'd ask for any advice? links to appropriate gear etc. Cheers in advance guys.

Noisyjon Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 CTS 250k pots from either WD Music or Allparts should see you right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjojjas Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 is it the same pot? volume and tone? Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yes, Same pot for Vol & Tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 +1 to that. Some state Lin for volume, and Log for tone, but both Fender and Gibson just use the same audio-taper pot on both, on most of their instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Another vote for CTS pots. These are the pots i got recently [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Premium_250k_Solid_Shaft_Pot_10%25_Tolerance_CTS250SS"]CTS solid shaft[/url] and [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Premium_250k_Split_Shaft_Pot_10%25_Tolerance_CTS250"]CTS Split shaft[/url] Both the same pot but different shafts. Basically if you want to keep using your original knobs (yeah yeah ;-) you need to get the correct Shaft. Normally split shaft takes the push on knobs and solid takes the knobs with the small grub screw. Just pull off your old knobs (why does this keep sounding wrong) to see what you already have. Good choice on the Wizards. Edited November 30, 2010 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjojjas Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 cool guys, thanks a lot, I'm ordering them now. Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignsOfDelirium_bassist Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I was wondering this earlier too, I've got a set of lovely wizard 64s on my VMJ, and I want new pots for it too! I can recall someone saying something about using a 500k for tone and 250k for the vol pots, is this a terribly bad idea? What would it do to my sound if I did this compared to if I had all 3 250k pots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
